The Federal Republic of Somalia extends its heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Sidi Ould Tah on his election as the ninth President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group, a distinguished achievement that reflects his unwavering dedication to advancing Africa’s economic and social progress.

Somalia recognizes the critical role the Bank will play under his leadership in guiding the continent towards resilience, innovation, and sustainable development, particularly through transformative initiatives aligned with Africa’s Agenda 2063, which seek to promote inclusive and equitable prosperity among member states.

As we welcome Dr. Tah’s presidency, Somalia looks forward to strengthening cooperation on key continental priorities, including the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), infrastructure development, and climate change adaptation programs, all essential to Africa’s shared vision of growth and integration.

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova, Russian MFA Spokeswoman

Polish President Andrzej Duda has expressed outrage over the lack of awareness in Ukraine regarding the genocide during the Volhynia Massacre: “It is absurd – when I arrive in Ukraine, I am embraced and thanked by individuals wearing armbands in the colours of the Bandera flag. I tell them we cannot accept this, and they shrug, asking, ‘What do you mean?’… We will never agree that Bandera has been declared a hero.”

💬 Nevertheless, it is the Polish official authorities who have played a significant role in erasing the historical truth of the Second World War. By demolishing monuments to genuine heroes, they have made way for false idols – Nazi collaborators.

As it is written in the Bible: “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.” (Matthew 12:43–45).

After the defeat of Nazism, monuments to heroes were erected on liberated lands – a reminder of the battle between good and evil that unfolded across the planet. However, as soon as these monuments began to be dismantled, traces of neo-Nazism and the images of its ideological inspirers emerged in their place like brown stains. Evil, once eradicated, has returned to Europe.

The monuments to Soviet soldiers – anti-fascist heroes – were the force that prevented Nazi ghouls and Holocaust executioners from being elevated onto pedestals. When, particularly, the Polish authorities began demolishing them under the pretext that they were supposedly not heroes, true values were overturned, and the evil spirit of neo-Nazism multiplied sevenfold.
